Dont care for the seat and like the apes but seem a little wide on the bike. Some custom apes may look better. But as long as you like that is all that matters

You are really ‘in the wind’ with those bad boy bars there aren’t you!
2 Questions, 1. are they 1″ bars and 2. if they are what is the clutch lever and perch off?
Enjoy the ride (and the vibrations).

I do hafta admit that I’ve never seen that formula (CR- Vsw) before. I guess I shoulda just kept my mouth shut – laffin

Yer visual is still funny, tho. Pete, I’d review the process you went thru to reassemble the motor first, but it seems like something internal is wrong. Might hafta pull that sucker back out. Nice looking bike, Good luck!

As for compression, you’ve upped the capacity of the engine by nearly 20% and you’re squeezing all that extra mixture into the same size combustion chambers-that’s why the compression has sky-rocketed. Never mind the vibration, the motor will probably detonate itself to death anyway.

You might try compression release valves in the heads for easier starting? As for vibration, re-phasing the crank should help? I remember some guys used to add some inches to the kicker lever for more leverage when starting. Enjoy your ride!

The bike, looks sweet though. -Next time give us more photos/angles, I’m not familiar with the Projex line of frames, but I’d like to see just how low and lean the proportions are. I’m always a fan of bikes that force the seating position in front of the rear wheel.
Real nice job man.
